Overview

This isn’t a typical guided tour, but a glimpse into a daily ritual that still shapes life along the Ligurian coast.

The 'passeggiata' is how locals slow down at the end of the day: stepping out for fresh air, a chat, or simply to see and be seen. Rather than explaining it from the outside, I share it as it’s actually lived.

Santa Margherita Ligure is a place I’ve returned to over the years, and where my family has deep roots. This personal connection shapes the way I lead my walks: informal, attentive, and grounded in real familiarity with the town.

We won’t rush from sight to sight. Instead, we take time to notice small details, follow the natural rhythm of the evening, and experience the town as locals do.

For those choosing the “Italian on the Go” option, a gentle language guidance is also included, with simple phrases and conversation naturally woven into the walk, allowing you to engage more directly with the place. A small effort with Italian can transform your experience.

What to expect

Experience "la passeggiata", a classic Italian habit, as you explore Santa Margherita Ligure at an unhurried pace.

More than a walk, it’s a way to step into everyday Italian life through conversation and local stories, noticing details that are easy to miss when passing through. We’ll move between well-known spots and quieter corners, with a focus on what makes this place distinct.

Held in the early evening, when the town slows down and locals head out for their own passeggiata, the experience offers a more authentic glimpse of daily life (while remaining flexible depending on the day).

Choose your experience: a classic Italian stroll or a stroll with Italian conversation woven in.

- Option 1: La passeggiata (1.5 h)
Just enough time to stroll around and get a feel for the place without rushing

- Option 2: Learn Italian on the Go (2 h)
Add a language twist to your stroll, with simple Italian woven into the experience. Learn and practise useful phrases naturally: no pressure, just real-life conversation.

The itinerary is flexible and may vary depending on the participants' pace and conditions on the day.

Suitable for all fitness levels, with a relaxed and easy pace.
